grossman. i could give you our view of the u.s.e fact that that relationship has been and continues to be complicated, but is very important to our national security interests, to our fight against al qaeda, and to the stability of the region. that is our broad view. i do not have anything specific on the president and ambassador grossman. >> why have the afghan meetings fallen off? can you tell us about how many meetings he has had? >> it is a high priority, a national security party for the president. we are transparent about the implementation process that the president has taken, and will continue to be. we are in a phase of drawing down the forces. as we began -- in terms of meetings of the af-pac, it is an issue that is discussed in the president's national security time with the advisers. >> the turks tried a few months ago to have talks with assad, at that time the president waited for a few days but told the turkish president is not working, we have to move on. i wonder why in light of that precedent you said he sounded so
